Update to this, it appears as if the Bluescsi 2 is corrupting data. I setup the Bluescsi 2 with only NE4. Hda and the .ini file telling it how to connect to my network. On the backside I have a bluescsi 1 externally, I did the OS and software installs to the bluescsi 1 without any issue. It...

I have used the .hda with the driver bundle and a newer driver from Macintosh Garden, the .hda one says it's from 1993 and the later is from 1997, both do the same to the system. 7.1 had MacTCP, 7.5 and 8.1 had Open Transport.

I'm not in, so I'll have look again. I'm digging through the troubleshooting tips now, though my issue seems unique. It's a generic "Can not complete installation" error. I forget the exact words, but it doesn't imply the hardware isn't present, or imply much other than it failed. I've tried...

I'm not sure where to post this, I'll start here and it can be shoved off elsewhere if needed. I have a Quadra 605 with an internal BLueSCSI v2. Every time I try to install the DaynaPORT software, it'll get 60% through the install then error out. The error says that the changed will be...

I legitimately enjoy the taste of coffee when it has a slightly burnt flavor to it.

Are there rules for Marchintosh like there was the PowerPC Challenge? Either way, I have a BlueSCSI 2 with the Dynaport stuff, and I have no idea how it works or what to expect, I need to look up a guide. BUT, we're gonna do it, and it's gonna be great, I think. I enjoy setting systems up from...

Apparently dude has a history. Big shames. :[

I have 3 packs that have anywhere between 10-30min charge left, absolutely interested in this. Can you just put new cells in and the battery will work, or is there more to it than that?

Still can't figure out Email. Stunnel doesn't work, other options don't seem to work. Trying to get old Email clients to log into modern Email is a pain, all to sync Email to a palm pilot. If I figure this out, I'm writing a guide.

I'll have to check to see what exactly the issue is, its been a minute, but I don't think Firewire devices were even receiving power. I think the System Report still saw Firewire hardware. I'm not against doing board work, if the controller is the issue. I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself...

I've had a G4 Mac mini with a bad firewire for a while. I want to try a few things, but I figured someone might know a bit about it ahead of me trying anything. I understand that this is not an uncommon problem with these, but I'm unsure what causes it. Anyone have any insight? I'm not beyond...

I go some stuff! Let's see it! First off is this crazy joystick. I didn't know that there was such a complex joystick made for the Mac, using the ADB port. The only joysticks I had seen on eBay or thrifting had been little 4-button sticks. This thing rocks! Best part about it, my OrangePC card...

I was given a 2.4Ghz 2008 Black MacBook several years ago. All it needed was a new battery. I got one of those black OWC batteries that was DOA, they were super cool and gave me a new one. Playing with it for a while, I'm amazed at what these things are still capable of, though I have 10.6...

Worked last time it was tested (1999), don't waste my time, sold as is, no returns accepted.

A bit of a port-mortem writeup for the PPC challenge, that life got in the way of and I didn't have enough time. Big shames. Video editing was pretty strange on this thing. Having to use Quicktime to turn MPGs into MOV files, then edit them was unusual. I was using a Sony Mavica to record 15...

PowerPC Challenge month has concluded, just as I had the time to get into MIDI music making in Cubase, and playing Sims classic. I might wait for the weekend to swap machines, next up is the Quadra 605. Maybe next next weekend. Maybe.

The month is already at its end and I haven't finished editing a video, or even fired up the original Sims on my G3 mini tower.

This makes me want a Bluescsi 2. That SCSI Wi-fi sounds awesome.

Indeed! I fixed the link, thanks for pointing that out.

I'm always interested in things that people manage to get the 8088 processor to do. Things that were thought impossible, and then you see that it's possible and it makes you question what these old things are really capable of. "New-old" software its fascinating. I'm sure a lot of people know...
